Basic interval training is simply alternating short bursts of intense activity with longer intervals of lighter activity. This type of training has been practiced by athletes for years. It burns more calories and increases cardiovascular fitness much better than simply plodding along the whole time. Now imagine taking this up a notch to maximum interval training. This is where the bursts of intense activity are much longer and the periods of lighter activity re much shorter. You can see examples of how the Insanity workout uses this method at http://www.extremefitnessresults.com/insanity-workout.html.

It only stands to reason that if interval training works, maximum interval training will work better and faster. We know interval training works, it’s used by professional athletes whose trainers have studied every fitness method under the sun.

Maximum interval training isn’t for everyone. Shaun T’s insanitty workout is not designed for people who are out-of -shape. According to http://www.extremefitnessresults.com/insanity-workout.html., you need to be in good shape to even get started. They make this point quite clear because, even though there is a money back guarantee, some people are disappointed that they are not fit enough to begin the program. Remember, it takes a long time to get out of shape, you can’t get back in shape right away. Start slowly to avoid injuring yourself. You’ll build stamina and be able to complete the Insanity workout in time.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer, affecting over 200,000 men in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death for men of, it doesn’t have to be.

Six years ago Florida urology doctors began performing robot-assisted prostate surgery, or robotic prostatectomy. The machine used during surgery includes cameras that magnify the doctor’s vision up to 10 times. With three-dimensional viewing and excellent maneuverability allow the surgeon to perform keyhole incisions and minimize pain, blood loss and recovery time.

Recovery time after a robotic prostatectomy is minimal. Most patients are discharged the day after surgery and able to drive within a week or two. Further, the procedure minimizes the loss of bladder control and sexual function.

The robot-assisted prostate surgery can be more expensive, up to $2,000 more per patient, according to a 2010 “New York Times” article. However, lower hospital costs may counteract this extra expense.

The same article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/14/health/14robot.html?pagewanted=1&hp) presents a controversy between traditional laparoscopic prostrate surgery and robot-assisted. One thing is clear, however, it takes the average surgeon 300 to 400 surgeries to perfect the procedure. Most surgeons who swear by the newer method have performed the surgery over 3,000 times with good results.

Robot-assisted surgery is becoming the popular option, with 86 percent of prostate surgery patients in 2009 refusing laparoscopic surgery, according to Intuitive Surgical. The procedure is now available in most states across the country.
